Also my fav OP :)

Rcpp is probably the best thing to ever exist.

I reject tidyverse though

Did you just stop reading there? I was saying those projects should have atomic architectures so that “rewrite small parts when needed” can happen

Boy do I ever disagree with this.

For big projects, with multiple people and man-years of work, sure. Don’t start from scratch. But in my humble opinion, those projects shouldn’t really exist. Instead they should be atomic, made up of small page-length units which individually can be scraped and rebuilt.

For small projects, rewriting is often superb. It allows us to reorganize a mess, apply new knowledge, add neat features and doodads, etc.

Dude what, replace all of those with me skiing while my mouse jiggler keeps my slack status active lol

But the browser can’t handle other languages? That seems a bit silly

I don’t work with web stuff, why is js so weird? Can you write a website in other languages, like c# or python?
